After reading all these comments, I'm still in a love/hate relationship with stripes

I seek out stripes and deliberately make them wonky or cut on the bias. Never can get them straight, so why fight it.

How beautiful!! The colors compliment each other so well. After seeing this, who wouldn't want to try stripes? Is this from New Sampler by Lynn Edwards?

I have a whole shelf of stripes. The ones I favor are the floral stripes. They make wonderful borders, and separators for long strips of blocks. Also like them in table runners, purses, etc.

I love them for binding. Other than that, I steer clear of them.

My DH has an aversion to stripes! He sometimes actually feels sick when he looks at some stripes--so I use them sparingly in my quilting. I usually only use them on the bias for binding.

I like to use stripes for my binding. It gives the quiilt a different look.

I enjoy stripes, they can certainly add play and movement to a quilt! Of course they don't belong on all quilts, but they sure look good on kid quilt bindings

I avoid stripes like the plague. They look nice for borders and bindings, but I don't like working with them.
